E0 is fabulous for old lawn mowers, weed wackers, motorboats, and classic cars. But it offers no cost advantage for modern vehicles (that have been designed to run on E10).
Try some 93 octane with Marvel mystery oil, my civic loves it better than e0 91 octane.

I think we talked in another thread but the inconvenience to get E0 was not worth my time

The marvel mystery oil comes in a 32 oz jug for $5.99 and you add 6 ounces per tank. The jug fits perfectly in the back seat cup holder in the civic.
